Hi Peter, my estimate of the distance between the peaks would be based on bond distances and about twice that of Dale, but I agree with his general conclusion. Either a reflection (roughly in the h 0 0 direction) is stronger than it should be (ice?), or a very strong reflection was considered

that should have been sort -gk5 XDS_ASCII.HKL | more (I should have tested before posting!) best, Kay On Tue, 25 Jun 2013 09:16:52 +0100, Kay Diederichs kay.diederi...@uni-konstanz.de wrote: ... b) inspect the outliers in XDS_ASCII.HKL with something like sort -nk5 XDS_ASCII.HKL | more

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello Peter, have you tried removing a few residues involved and (after a round of refinement) rebuild the area from scratch (a simple way to remove model bias)? How did you decide about the resolution cut-off of your data sets - could it be that

Based on eye-balling your map it looks to me that your grid spacing is about 0.5 A. The wavelength of your ripple is 4 grid spacings, and the ripple is right along the x axis. My guess is that you have a rogue reflection with index of h00 where h is about 2 A resolution. How you are

Hi Tim, A side note: you are most likely not looking at 2Fo-Fc and Fo-Fc maps, but a sigma-A weighted maps and sigma-A weighted difference maps. I think it is worth differentiating between these terms. Fully agree. I guess just typing them as 2mFo-DFc and mFo-DFc will solve this particular
